ISO 15384+A1 is an international standard on test methods and requirements for wildland firefighting clothing to improve the efficacy of protective clothing.
ISO 15384+A1 specifies methods of test and minimum performance requirements for personal protective clothing, designed to protect the wearer’s body, except for the head, hands, and feet, that is worn during wildland firefighting and associated activities.
ISO 15384+A1 covers the general design of the garment, the minimum level of performance for the materials employed and the methods of test to determine these levels.
Note: ISO 15384+A1 is not applicable to clothing for use in situations encountered in structural firefighting, rescue or where an elevated level of infrared radiation is expected. ISO 15384+A1 does not provide protection against high mechanical risks such as for protection when using chain saws.
ISO 15384+A1 on protective clothing for firefighters is useful for:
Wildland firefighting involves work primarily in summer temperatures, for many hours in which the firefighter can develop prominent levels of metabolic heat.
ISO 15384+A1 helps you by providing the test methods and performance requirements for wildland firefighting clothing to prevent them from serious burn injury.
The test methods and performance requirements provided by ISO 15384+A1 assists you to improve the quality of protective clothing for firefighters and ensure the protective clothing is radiant and convective heat resistance, impact and abrasion resistance and protect the wearer from hazardous heat.
